Feminism at the Polls

We need a mainstream feminism that understands the impact of economic and foreign policy on the majority of women’s lives. The presidential primary season’s most startling facet has been the sudden salience of an intersectional feminism, an inspiring invitation for socialist feminists to engage with electoral politics. We should be making arguments about why social-democratic priorities are feminist, and we should also be explaining why feminism is integral to—and not a distraction from—a broader progressive agenda.
